I suspected it was something having to do with custom tables. Thanks for the explanation, Buzz. I suspected it was something having to do with custom tables.

The problem can come when you roll your own table view, which many people used to do because Apple didn't provide the alternating rows feature until (I think) Panther. OmniWeb and NNW are probably using their own custom table view implementations to maintain Jaguar compatibility, but not taking that into account. There *is* however, a way they could: there are system APIs for figuring out the theme colors. If you use the standard NSTableView in Cocoa, you get that for free.
